Hemerocallis #934225

Asked June 04, 2026, 4:40 PM EDT

I can't separate my Hemerocallis at this time. Will it hurt the plant if I trim the leaves to make it appear smaller until I can separate it?

Harford County Maryland

Expert Response

If they have not bloomed yet, I would not prune them.
Once they have bloomed and the flowers died off, you can cut the leaves back by half.
Daylilies are pretty resilient.
